“Early this week, CTV lawyers agreed to ensure that all emails, texts and other correspondence related to this travesty are held independently for safe keeping,” Brown said in the post.

“In the court of public opinion and among the many journalists I’ve spoken to, these allegations are now seen for what they are — fictitious and malicious,” he said.

CTV has previously said it stands by its story. It has not yet responded to Brown’s lawsuit.

Brown resigned as leader of the Ontario PC Party shortly after CTV aired a story on Jan. 24 that accused Brown of sexual misconduct involving two young women.

The first accuser said she was a high school student 10 years ago when Brown picked her up in a bar, fed her booze, brought her back to his home, and seduced her in his second-floor bedroom, pressuring her into performing oral sex.

The second accuser worked for Brown as a summer student and said he fed her drinks in a bar following a riding charity event five years ago, then at an after-party at Brown’s home, ended up in his bedroom where Brown kissed her without permission and attempted to pressure her into sex, which she described as a “sexual assault.”

She also suggested she was given a raise following the incident and offered a trip to India.

After the story aired, some parts of the allegations began to unravel.

During an interview with Postmedia this past Friday, Brown revealed that when the accuser was in high school, he was living in a ground-floor apartment which didn’t have a second-floor bedroom as she claimed.

According to CTV News, she is now saying that she was 19 and of legal drinking age at the time of the alleged incident, but still maintains it happened.

On Wednesday, the Toronto Sun spoke with the “friend” CTV interviewed, who the first accuser claimed had been with her on the night of the incident. In its follow-up story, CTV said the friend had “no recollection” of the night in question.

When Postmedia spoke with the friend, he said he knew Brown and had known the accuser since he was 16.
